The damage to our collective mental and physical health is enormous. It is said by many doctors and scientists that 95% of physical illness is attributable to undigested stress.
Events in our lives, including traumas, have become emotional knots and take a major toll in our bodies and brain.

Alan Steelman and his guests bring good news to all this in order to restore emotional and mental balance to our lives. Alan, Dianna, and Jenny explain and explore the Magic in the Brain- magic backed by science.
